Re: Things that take you out of the story

Modern language that doesn't fit in the particular fandom. Nicknames being used by characters that don't sound like they'd actually use them. Villains being entirely fluffy in ways that don't feel in character.

Basically anything that feels OOC.

AYRT

I definitely feel that. OOC stuff in fic drives me up the wall.

Villains being entirely fluffy in ways that don't feel in character.

That's especially annoying! On one level, I get why it happens -- it's psychologically satisfying to defang the bad guy. But at the same time...the bad guy is the bad guy! Leave him that way!

Yup. Like, villains can be complex and multi-faceted. But if the evil just flat out isn't there, it isn't the same character. Then again, by the same token, sometimes villains lose the complexity in fics and are just props to make other characters sympathetic and are just pure evil with no nuance. And I don't love that either.
